The past 20th of March took place the second edition of Mexico's city new fashion platform: NOOK, where three designers: Kris Goyri, Andrés Jimenez for "Mancandy",and Rolando Santana, showed their proposals for this Autumn/Winter 2013. The shows were presented in Netzahualcóyotl fountain, in Chapultepec park -an amazing pre-Columbian monument which was beautifully lightened- creating an interesting contrast between the antique monument and the avant-garde proposals from these talented designers. My favorite was Kris Goyri's, which surprised everyone this time by choosing a very small palette -using only black, white and silver. Anyhow, he experimented more with fabrics: utilizing from sheered silk, chiffon, sequined and lace. As a result a great collection with different proposals for day and night -but overall, silhouettes that favor and embrace the feminine figure.

From Heidi Slimane's grunge proposal for Saint Laurent, passing through the deconstructed, sheered, and floral pieces by Givenchy. Heavy knits and monochromatic looks of Castelbajac, simplicity and softness shown by Céline, and the feminine and body-embracing gowns by Zuhair Muraad -these are some of this Autumn/Winter trends. I leave you my favorite looks from Paris Fashion Week A/W 13', and following some close-ups of the pieces I loved!

Back in the city, I went to one of my favorite places in "la Roma" area -which is becoming the new SOHO in Mexico city. Lately many cool restaurants, bars and clubs are opening in this area -bringing to the city new concepts that were not seen before in Mexico. DELIRIO by the well known mexican chef Monica Patiño, is one of them. A café/delicatessen/store where you can find delicious home made food. You can either try their already made dishes, or be creative and prepare your own baguette, or salad with their great variety of gourmet ingredients. There is also a good selection of mexican wines, tequila and mezcal -that you can taste it there or buy to go. It is definitely a great place to either have a gourmet breakfast, lunch or dinner at a very reasonable price.
